An unconventional collaboration has been announced. The partnership brings together Maison Margiela and RIMOWA.
The “Bianchetto” technique—known for its white paintwork—from Maison Margiela has been incorporated into Rimowa’s “Classic Cabin” collection.

While the dents, scratches, and patina that develop over time on a RIMOWA suitcase become irreplaceable records of travel, Maison Margiela expresses the traces left by the passage of time through its designs, making the flow of time itself visible.
In other words, although what they create is different, there are common threads in their respective aesthetics.
The interior of this “Classic Cabin” is also a highlight. It features a special white interior with leather accents.
In addition, the film features the “5AC” XL bag from *Maison Margiela*. Remarkably, its surface is adorned with the grooves that are the hallmark of *Rimowa* suitcases.
It's amazing that they used high-frequency technology to create three-dimensional patterns and engraved them directly onto the leather without using needles or thread.

In addition to the leather crossbody strap, this bag comes with a detachable leather loop. Apparently, you can use the loop to secure the bag on top of the “Classic Cabin.” When stacked, the loops line up, creating a sense of unity.
This product comes with two specially designed leather tags for both the suitcase and the bag. One is a RIMOWA luggage tag, and the other is a tag that combines a RIMOWA luggage tag with a Maison Margiela key ring.
